Who here owns a Subaru?

Looking good. Nice strong power/torque curves too :cool:

ScoobyDoo69 · 16 Apr 2013 at 10:50

Good lad

I had this fitted yesterday:

ScoobyDoo69 · 17 Apr 2013 at 10:17

Yup baffled sump. Don't want to risk any oil surge at my sprint/track days this year

ScoobyDoo69 · 18 Apr 2013 at 10:01

Yeah I should hope so, given that it is a Roger Clark Motorsport item!

Haven't done any thus far. First one is 27th April at Snetterton

Very much looking forward to it!

ScoobyDoo69 · 18 Apr 2013 at 14:37

Less than the RCM price! I got a good price including fitting, but it's definitely not cheap.

Full replacement RCM sump. Standard capacity, but I have an oil cooler so I've got a fair bit of extra oil in there.

I wouldn't bother with the Cosworth item. Most view them as pretty useless.. I got this because I intend to go push the car on semi/full slicks. Apparently a full baffled sump or a dry sump is the only real solution!

Very nice.

Who mapped it for you?

ScoobyDoo69 · 25 Apr 2013 at 17:13

Got my first sprint event on Saturday at Snetterton. Can't wait!

ScoobyDoo69 · 26 Apr 2013 at 10:30

I still need to do a debrief of Time Attack Round 1 at Cadwell Park and my trip to Tokyo! Although I'm sure I'll get around to it !

ScoobyDoo69 · 29 Apr 2013 at 17:05

This was my quickest lap on Saturday. Plenty of mistakes made but really had fun

ScoobyDoo69 · 3 May 2013 at 22:02

Thanks! I would say I don't think I got a single launch right actually. That run I think I had the lines about right, but messed up the gear changes.

Can't wait for the next one at Blyton on the 18th May.

ScoobyDoo69 · 4 May 2013 at 12:45

Thanks. I'm was using Yokohama A048s which clearly need a lot more temperature in them to get properly sticky. They're not ideal for sprints as they just seem to lack bite when so cold.

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 May 2013 at 21:24

I'm on everywhere to be honest

Scoobynet, 22b, NASIOC are the ones I recommend for good information.

I was at Blyton yesterday for another sprint event, so here's a Nissan GTR and then me launching from the start line:

Gurdas, sorry to see what happened to your car

I hope you're in the process of getting it sorted?? I would say stick with the blob rear lights. IMO of course.

I personally run EBC Bluestuff NDX pads on mine and they seem to be holding up pretty well to my abuse.

ScoobyDoo69 · 20 May 2013 at 09:30

Here's my fastest lap from Saturday at Blyton:

All comments / advise welcome

Plenty of places I could have braked harder and carried more speed that's for sure.

Just trying to get it all sorted now, finding the time is the most difficult part.

So far I have bought some standard rear blob lights, new pagid pads all round, godspeed grooved rear discs, walbro 255 pump, cosworth panel filter.

Getting all that fitted, serviced, mot'd, decat/uppipe etc fitted then finally remap

That's my boy! Let me know how you get on!

Are you using harnesses? If not i'd recommend they'd speed you up more than anything!

Nope, hence I'm struggling to stay in the seat. I may have just acquired some decent bucket seats though, so just waiting for a response on those!

A shot from Blyton's "paddock"

Some outside footage from Blyton Park:

ScoobyDoo69 · 24 May 2013 at 17:28

Cheers dude

Zunsport makes all the difference !

A "walk around" of the RCM Gobstobber for anyone interested, what a machine!

ScoobyDoo69 · 24 May 2013 at 18:43

The blue one on gold alloys on the right?

Yeah, that's mine

For you I'd really recommend the use of a CG Lock, I have now used one for 5 years in many cars. Really helps loads with keeping you in place as it keeps your hips planted into the seat. Best car I had with it was the DC2, once you tightened it I couldn't move at all which meant you didn't have to hang onto the wheel at all.

These days when I drive a car without it I find it really weird!

I have been thinking about one to be honest... I'm still waiting to hear on these bucket seats though! I might just buy one anyway!

Thought it was, lovely looking car mate

I don't know how you keep it so clean with all that rally driving you do

Many thanks... trust me it's not clean!

ScoobyDoo69 · 29 May 2013 at 22:39

True that! Might order one next week

Yet another video from me...

Been trying to kill my clutch for 5 years... still going strong
